Weapon contracts with South Korea (K2 tanks, K9 cannon howitzers, FA-50 planes) is one of the most important and largest Polish defense orders in recent years. The ordered equipment is a real strengthening of the Polish deterrence and defense potential. Ultimately, it will be manufactured with a wide participation of the Polish defense industry and taking into account the opinions and assessments of military experts. Orders are characterized by a fast pace of deliveries and a large transfer of technology to Poland.

The tanks acquired in the first stage will also be polonized and brought to the K2PL standard.
K9 howitzers - in the first stage, it is planned to acquire 48 howitzers, some of which will be delivered to Poland this year (filling the gap after handing over the equipment to Ukraine).
